Bush Defends Israel

And takes a stand against Terror, but as usual he is mostly alone:

President Bush has a straightforward message for Russian leader Vladimir Putin and world leaders at their summit: when possible, speak with a single voice in combating crises such as the flare-up in the Middle East...Bush's strong support of Israel put him at odds with European Union allies two days before U.S. had sought a united stand at the G-8 summit against Iran's nuclear ambitions and North Korea's long-range missile test.

The Israeli attacks on Lebanon were criticized by both G-8 members Russia and France.

No surprise there. America is still alone showing any leadership against terrorist groups.
